Rochester Public Utilities - Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

This program applies to commercial, industrial, nonprofit, and government facilities rather than residential homeowners. If your organization operates a business or government building in Rochester, you can receive rebates for installing energy-efficient equipment like LED lighting, HVAC systems, heat pumps, motors, and food service equipment—apply before installation and submit original invoices to claim your rebate while funds remain available for the year.

You can help your commercial and industrial clients access rebates for a wide range of efficiency upgrades including lighting controls, geothermal and air-source heat pumps, chillers, variable frequency drives, and custom measures. Ensure customers submit pre-approval applications before any equipment installation and gather complete invoices with quantities, pricing, dates, and tax information to process successful claims.

This rebate program serves commercial, industrial, nonprofit, and government customers in Rochester Public Utilities' service territory, supporting equipment across HVAC, lighting, motors, refrigeration, food service, and building controls. Pre-approval is required before installation; rebates are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until annual funding is exhausted, with applicants required to provide detailed invoice documentation and original purchase records for verification.
